As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, the NLA unveiled a state-of-the-art 20-seater toilet facility equipped with bathrooms, a self-contained apartment, and a kitchen for the caretaker.
The facility, designed to operate 24 hours a day, aims to curb open defecation in the area. It also includes a water supply system to enhance access to clean water in the Old Tafo enclave.
During the commissioning ceremony, Nana Ampaw Kwame Addo Frempong, popularly known as Chief Buffalo, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary candidate for Akyem Abuakwa North Constituency and a member of the Governing Board of the National Food Buffer Stock, urged the community to prioritize maintenance of the facility.
He emphasized its unique design and called for collective efforts to preserve it for future generations.
The Chief of Akyem Tafo, Daasebre Adusei Peasah, lauded Nana Ampaw Kwame Addo Frempong for his instrumental role in lobbying the NLA for the project.
He also acknowledged Frempong’s numerous contributions to the development of Abuakwa North and urged residents to rally behind such visionary leadership.
The facility is expected to significantly improve hygiene and sanitation standards in Old Tafo, addressing long-standing health and environmental concerns in the area.
